Last year I had a bow to go with my costume, and I carved it out of styrofoam (covered in papier mache, etc). I used a fairly slack elastic string, so the entire thing was absolutely nonfunctional. When I went to get it peacebonded, I was required to remove the string.
Not sure if that was actually part of the policy, or if it will be this year, just wanted to share what my experience was.
The cosplay was in no way ruined, since the string was just a small detail. I just had a little bit of trouble with some poses - my left hand isn't all that strong, and the bow was sort of heavy, so I kept having to check and make sure I was holding the bow correctly.
To be honest, I don't even realize, in pictures, the bow has no string unless I remember it doesn't.
